Soós Tibor - Árnyékból a fényre (2020)

"An unputdownable book about fascinating female destinies" - Lotti Budai

"A must for women, recommended for men!" - Angelika R. Kelényi

Women who changed the world

"Behind every successful man is a smart woman," goes the well-known saying. But these smart women didn't always want to stay behind the men. In fact, it has happened throughout history that they bravely stepped out of the shadow of men to assert themselves in their own right, with their own talent.
This volume aims to present the most exciting life paths, in a different way than the male-centric historiography (often wrongly or distortedly) depicts them in history books.
Because who knew that Mata Hari was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and was called out as a spy in a concept trial? How did Pericles manage Athenian politics through his wife's "literary salon"? That Golda Meir almost dropped the atomic bomb in the Yom Kippur War? That Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, was knighted by the British monarch and that Michelle Obama became a pianist?

Tibor Soós (i.e. T.R. Salty, author of the Bellum Atlantis and Black Rainbow series) now returns to his original profession, history, and presents us with 22 thought-provoking women's destinies. Of women who have all broken through the millennia-old framework set up for women. They are the ones who set an example for the people of today with their faith, willpower, and perseverance. An example for both women and men.
